Data Management Plan Database

A Data Management Plan (DMP) describes how you will manage, store, secure, document, and share research data. DMPs can vary broadly across disciplines, methodologies, and data types. DMPs are a growing requirement for grants, and can also guide data practices for individuals and teams. DMP Assistant is a free webtool that guides you through drafting your DMP and the easiest way to start building a DMP.

Our database gathers examples from across the world including DMPs from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Qualitative DMP Competition, DataOne, Digital Curation Centre, Liber, the Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance, and UC San Diego Research Data Curation into one searchable, open-access platform.

EAGER: High-throughput, culture-independent technique identifying cyanobacteria infections to improve understanding of carbon biogeochemical cycling

Original Source

Johns Hopkins University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect data on viruses and viral infections in the ocean to better understand which bacteria viruses infect. To do this, the researchers are developing a "high-throughput technique to identify cultures in the environment."

Evidence for Dynamic Weakening Mechanisms in the San Andreas Fault: Microgeochemistry and microthermometry of Fault related Rocks from SAFOD core and Exhumed Fault

Original Source

Utah State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect data by analyzing the rocks from the San Andreas Fault Zone to better understand processes, particularly dynamic weakening that lead to the generation of earthquakes.

IRF3 and macrophage polarization during experimental periodontitis

Original Source

University of Nebraska Medical Center; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect wet-lab cellular data obtained from microscopy, blots, etc. in order to evaluate the role of various immune mediators in periodontitis.
